I am trying to prove an account book written by Nicholas Heinrich CRIST in 1738 is true. He states that he met
Sir John Henry NOWLIN and his wife Anna Elizabeth TILLMAN when he came to the Colonies in 1738 and

died in April 1749 while floating down the river to visit his sick brother. The following timeline will show some of
the NOLAN, NOLAND, NOWLAND, NOLLAND etc that were in the Patterson Creek northern Virginia area
